Words from the wise: Pete Waterman, 62

“I’ve always been very ‘can do’, grabbing any opportunity that’s come my way. That said, you can’t bluff in the workplace – or not for very long. Ignorance is quickly exposed, so never be frightened of saying, ‘I’m sorry, but I don’t know. Could you possibly explain?’ You might be unlucky enough to encounter a mean spirit, but generally, if you show willing, you’ll find people are only too happy to pass on the benefit of their experience. Knowledge is everything, so be ready to learn from those who’ve already got the information you need.
